When night falls, thousands of homes are lit up.

As the demon clouds that lingered in Jindou City were broken, the people of the whole city celebrated with their families, and for a while, the night of Jindou City was more lively than the day, and all of them entered the joyful atmosphere of singing and dancing.

"Please also ask my mother-in-law to forgive me, my subordinates are incompetent, and I can't kill that target!"

At this time, Tang Wujie, who was known as the ghost hand silver needle by the people of the rivers and lakes, was kneeling on one knee, bowing his head with a solemn face, not daring to look at the rickety figure in front of him.

"Ahem... That kid is very cunning, and it's normal for you to miss once. ”

Granny Osmanthus coughed lightly twice, slowly turned her rickety body, revealing a cheek like a dry and wrinkled old bark, she walked to Tang Wujie's body with a pestle and crutches, and asked in a hoarse voice: "Where is that kid now?" ”

"Back to my mother-in-law, the target is in the post station of Jindou City at this time." Tang replied truthfully.

"He actually ran to the station... Do you want to borrow the power of the government to fight against our building? ”

Granny Osmanthus chuckled lightly and said in a calm tone: "It's ridiculous! ”

"As soon as the old man arrived in Jindou City, he received another reward order, and the content of this reward: it is still a reward for Zhang Tao's head!"

Seeing the information in her hand, her gloomy gaze showed a look of astonishment, and then she slowly handed the information in her hand to Tang Wuxie, and said, "What happened in the city today?" ”

After receiving the information, Tang Wujie glanced at the ten lines, saw the contents of his palm at a glance, and said silently: "Cheng Taowei of Jindoucheng County also paid a lot of money to reward Zhang Tao's head......"

After a pause, he suddenly realized, and explained to the other party in time about the recent demon punishment in the city, and even took the Su family in the medicine hall to talk about it in detail.

"Oh? That kid is following the jade-faced Shura? ”

After learning the ins and outs of the matter, Granny Osmanthus raised her eyebrows, her old face rose with a touch of solemnity, and she whispered: "Then this matter is a bit tricky... If you want to kill people under the nose of the Six Gates Shura Divine Catch, you have to put a little more thought into it. ”

"Zhang Tao, this kid is a bit evil, for some reason, he actually has the ghost fog body of my building."

At the right time, Tang Wuxie frowned and reported the matter of Zhang Tao's [Phantom Ghost Body].

As soon as these words came out, Granny Osmanthus's rickety body suddenly stiffened, and her hoarse voice immediately raised a few points, and said, "What did you say?" ”

"When his subordinates assassinated him, they found that he could also use the Ghost Mist Body Technique, and he had already cultivated to the Xiaocheng realm, and the Body Technique was not as weak as other Silver Medal Killers!" Tang Wuxie replied in a deep voice.

"Is that so?"

Granny Osmanthus looked pensive, her expression was uncertain, I don't know what she was thinking, after a long time, she said quietly: "Could it be that he is the person who the landlord secretly cultivated... Otherwise, why would he be [Phantom Ghost Body]? ”

Immediately, she made a decision in her heart, looked at the man who was kneeling on the ground in front of her, and said, "How many killers have come to Jin Dou City this time?" ”

"There are twelve silver killers, one gold medal killer, and the rest have tasks to do and can't get out!" Tang Wujie replied seriously.

"Let these people not do it first, observe secretly, and wait for the old man to confirm his identity to the landlord..."

Osmanthus mother-in-law said: "So as not to make a mistake and break the landlord's plan!" ”

"Yes!"

After receiving the order, Tang Wujie's figure quickly withdrew from the house, waiting for the opportunity to move.

Suddenly, the dim room fell into dead silence again, silent.

Inside the station.

Zhang Tao led Xiaohua, under the leadership of Xie Ziwei, to the guest room where the ninth princess was.

Pushing open the door, he followed the other party into the house with trepidation.

As soon as he entered the house, Zhang Tao smelled a fragrance of orchids, which penetrated his heart and spleen, and made people feel refreshed, as if he could clear all the tiredness on his body.

The room is elegant and simple, full of bookish atmosphere, and the ninth princess Zhou Qianxue is sitting in front of a game of chess, low eyebrows and contemplation, quiet and far-reaching.

"Her Royal Highness the Princess, Zhang Tao brought it!"

Xie Ziwei walked quickly in front of the other party, bowed lightly, leaned over and whispered in his ear to remind him.

"You may be seated!"

Hearing this, Zhou Qianxue raised her head, looked at Zhang Tao a few more times, and then continued to focus her attention on the chessboard in front of her, and she whispered: "Zhang Tao, let's meet again." ”

"I've seen Her Royal Highness the Ninth Princess."

Seeing the other party so polite, Zhang Tao was a little overwhelmed, he didn't understand what the bookish beauty in front of him wanted to do, and what was he summoning him for?

Is it because of Xiaohua's matter, and he is ready to ask himself in person?

Since it is a question of sin, why do you treat each other so politely, and give a seat directly when you meet!

Take things as they come.

In line with the idea of taking one step at a time, Zhang Tao listened to the other party's words, sat at the Go table obediently, and silently waited for the other party's next move without saying a word.

But who knows, this wait, waited until nightfall, and waited for two full hours.

"Alas... This Tianyuan endgame is still unsolvable after all. ”

Zhou Qianxue sighed, stared at the white child in her hand, shook it, and finally put it in the chess jar on the side, before slowly standing up and looking at Zhang Tao with a smile.

"I don't know if Zhang Shaoxia understands Go?" She asked with a smile.

"I know a little bit about it!"

Zhang Tao nodded modestly, he really didn't understand what the other party was doing in his stomach, and called him over just to watch a game of Go endgame?

He was left to dry for two hours.

During this time, Xiaohua woke up three times while lying on her stomach.

"How about a game with Hongu?"

Hearing this, a hint of surprise rose on Zhou Qianxue's delicate face, she pointed to the chess pieces on the table, and said, "I don't embarrass you... As long as you can play a game against Hongu, I will agree that you will accompany the big cat. ”

After a pause, she continued: "I heard that you were also chased and killed by Louwailou, so the situation must not be optimistic. ”

"Don't dare to disobey!"

Zhang Tao smiled reluctantly, no matter what, he had to play a chess game with the other party, so that all the problems could be written off.

Hearing the meaning of the other party's words, he decisively agreed.

Anyway, he doesn't suffer a loss, it's just a simple game of chess.

Can you still eat him?

"Please!"

When boarding, Zhang Tao bowed humbly and signaled the opponent to choose the chess pieces first.

"Does Zhang Shaoxia like whites or sunspots?"

Zhou Qianxue smiled at the corner of her mouth, her eyes showed a meaningful light, and she met Zhang Tao's calm and calm gaze, smiling without saying a word.

"Know its whiteness, guard its blackness! I love sunspots! ”

Zhang Tao smiled indifferently, stretched out his hand to grab the sunspot in the chess jar on the side, and said: "When people are deep in the light, there must be someone to guard the darkness." ”

"I didn't expect Zhang Shaoxia to be so righteous!"

Hearing what he said, a fine light flashed in the depths of Zhou Qianxue's beautiful eyes, and her gaze at the other party changed.

Xie Ziwei stood aside, without saying a word, silently watching the conversation between the two of them, when she heard Zhang Tao say, 'Someone has to keep the darkness', she immediately felt empathy, nodded secretly, and the aura around her couldn't help but fluctuate.

"Kuroko first, please!" Zhou Qianxue bowed her head and gestured.

Syllable!

As soon as the words fell, a sunspot landed in the center of the chessboard.

The position of Tian Yuan!

Zhang Tao did not shirk anything, and began to play with the opponent according to the knowledge of Go in his memory, taking the lead and occupying the position of Zhonggong Tianyuan extremely domineeringly.

He used to be just a college student who was proficient in various drawing techniques, and he didn't know anything about Go!

However, the original owner of this body was a poor scholar who was proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics.

During his ten years of study in Shuntianfu, although he did not succeed in comprehending Haoran's true meaning and becoming an official student of Fengtian Academy, he was involved in a wide range of activities, including piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, poetry, hops, and tea.

Now, in the game with the Nine Princesses, he is not left behind.

"Zhang Shaoxia, you are domineering and fierce in chess, and you are easily calculated!"

Zhou Qianxue's expression was serious, and her demeanor was full of emotion, exuding a kind of wise man's temperament who was strategizing and winning thousands of miles away.

It was as if the chessboard in front of her had turned into an endless battlefield in her eyes, and the two armies were facing each other and fighting each other.

Unconsciously, she invoked the Haoran True Intention in her body, unfolded her chess path, and unknowingly pulled Zhang Tao's mind into the battlefield in the chess game.

Every Confucian in the Double Heaven Pathfinder Realm has his own 'path'!

And the 'road' of the ninth princess Zhou Qianxue is chess, chess pieces, chessboards and chess games.

Heaven and earth are chess, and all beings are children!

And she is the one who holds the son, playing against heaven and earth!

In a trance, Zhang Tao felt that his soul was uncontrollable, and he inexplicably entered a battlefield with a murderous sound.

The two armies confronted each other.

He actually became the commander of 100,000 black-armored soldiers, covered in black and gold armor, domineering and leaking, and he rode a majestic colorful tiger on the back of his crotch, standing proudly in front of the two armies.

On the opposite side was a handsome young man in a silver-armored robe, with a slight resemblance to the ninth princess Zhou Qianxue between his eyebrows, and there were also 100,000 silver-armored soldiers standing behind her, each with amazing momentum and monstrous fighting intent.

Rumble!

The handover of troops was short, and the military horses on both sides were like huge grinding discs, ruthlessly crushing the lives of soldiers on the battlefield.

As the black and white armies continued to fight and collide, Zhang Tao faintly felt that the power of the divine soul was a little unbearable, and the thirty layers of Haoran True Intent in his body were running wildly.

Every time a black-armored soldier dies, the power of his divine soul is weakened by one point.

At this moment, Zhang Tao understood his own situation, he appeared on the chessboard, and the 100,000 black-armored soldiers on the battlefield were the concrete manifestations of his spiritual power.

It's not so much a game of chess, it's better to say that the two sides are competing for the strength of their souls.

Fortunately, Zhang Tao devoured a large amount of Yin and Netherworld Fruits, which made his divine soul power different from ordinary people, and possessed the strength of his divine soul equivalent to that of the early stage of the Confucian Double Heaven.

If it was an ordinary martial artist, under the attack of such a powerful divine soul as the Nine Princesses, he would definitely have no power to fight back and be defeated in an instant.

However, Zhang Tao is a freak, a martial artist with a powerful divine soul power!

Airplanes!

The horses roared, the tigers roared, and the sound of killing shook the sky, until the last soldier was completely destroyed.

In an instant, the battlefield in front of him instantly turned into ashes, like a broken mirror, cracked layer by layer, and disappeared.

"Whew... One move away! ”

When he opened his eyes, Zhang Tao exhaled a long breath of turbidity, felt dizzy in his head, and his spirit was a little trance, he put down the sunspot in his hand, clasped his fists with both hands and said: "Her Royal Highness the princess has superb chess skills, and she is convinced!" ”

"You... You..."

However, Zhou Qianxue's beautiful eyes widened, shocked, and stunned by the other party's amazing divine power.

After being shocked for a long time, she slowly came back to her senses and said in surprise: "You are a martial arts cultivator, why do you have the true meaning of Confucianism?" ”

"I have been reading the sage books in Shuntianfu for a few years, and I have been lucky enough to understand the true meaning of Haoran."

Zhang Tao smiled modestly and did not explain the reason too much, but randomly found an excuse to prevaricate.

Today's game made him see the strength of the Ninth Princess, a double Heavenly Confucian who stepped on the path-finding realm, and her cultivation was much stronger than the Chen Xi realm in the same realm.

"I see!"

Zhou Qianxue bowed slightly, accepting the other party's explanation, although she still had many doubts in her heart, she did not ask directly, but first pressed the problem in her heart, and waited to solve it later.

After a pause, she smiled and said, "Since you have promised to play a game with this palace, then this palace will fulfill your promise and allow you to stay in the post station and follow us to Shuntian Mansion!" ”

"However, you need to restrain this big cat, and you can't let it hurt people wantonly, otherwise this palace will definitely not bypass you..."Zhou Qianxue reminded.

"Thank you, Your Highness Princess!"

Hearing this, Zhang Tao was overjoyed, and hurriedly stood up, clasped his fists with both hands, bowed, and promised: "Please rest assured, Your Highness will definitely control Xiaohua's behavior. ”

"Hmmm! Stand down, this palace is tired! ”

Hearing the voice in his ears, Zhang Tao bowed his head slightly, very acquainted, and led Xiaohua to walk quickly to his original guest room.

When the figures of one person and one tiger disappeared, Xie Ziwei, who was silent on the side, spoke: "Your Royal Highness Princess, how is this person?" ”

"Talent is indeed demonic, he has a tough heart, mature and steady, and he is indeed a talent that can be created!"

Zhou Qianxue nodded with satisfaction, then raised her hand and pressed her dizzy head, and sighed in a low voice: "I really didn't expect that a martial artist could comprehend Haoran's true meaning, it's really incredible!" ”
